“The most valuable thing a teacher can impart to children is not knowledge and understanding per se but a longing for knowledge and understanding, and an appreciation for intellectual values, whether they be artistic, scientific, or moral. It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge. Most teachers waste their time by asking questions that are intended to discover what a pupil does not know, whereas the true art of questioning is to discover what the pupil does know or is capable of knowing.” KnowsChildrenDoeArtJoyValuesUnderstandingMoralCreativeKnowingTeacherExpressionWasteCapableIntellectualAskingLongingAppreciationValuableSupremeArtisticQuestioningPupilsImpartAsking QuestionsValuable ThingsCreative ExpressionKnowledge And Understanding Author:Albert Einstein

“Your regular teachers will get mad at you. If you keep asking something again and again, they will get tired of saying the same thing. A book will not do that. A book always will be there for you.
